        testing comment title containing UTF-8 chars; posting format: "Plain Old Text"

        SOURCE DATA: cut-and-paste of parent text's reversed and inverted (upside-down and backward) version of: "an the site now handle this?" into both the subject field and the comment field.

        When initially pasted in, the subject text looked correct.

        When initially pasted in, the comment text looked correct.

        Pressed preview button

        In "Preview Comment" area, saw subject text change to mojibake.

        In "Preview Comment" area, saw comment text change to mojibake.

        In "Edit Comment" area, saw subject text entry field change to a *sequence* of: ampersand, pound sign (aka sharp, hash mark, number sign, or octothorpe), digits, semicolon.

        In "Edit Comment" area, saw cut-and-pasted text appear as originally pasted (and as appeared in parent post).

        When posting Cyrillic in HTML mode the whole comment becomes blank.

        In Extrans and Code modes the characters are shown as HTML entities.

        In Plain Text mode the characters are truncated to $deity knows what: СпециалиÑты

        Here is a link for testing: http://lenta.ru/articles/2014/02/18/fusion/ [lenta.ru]

      I think UTF8 support is broken right now, even the most basic one:

      áéíóú = "áéíóú" accented vowels
      ÃÉÃÓÚ = "ÁÉÍÓÚ" capital accented vowels
      àèìòù = "àèìòù" vowels with grave accent
      ÀÈÌÒÙ = "ÀÈÌÒÙ" capital vowels with grave accent
      ñ = ñ
      Ñ = Ñ

      Posting as "Plain Old Text".
      I wrote the first row just typing in my keyboard (Spanish layout), and the second row by their character entities, i.e. &aacute; for á, etc.
      So there's at least a workaround, but it is so 90's. :P

    Testing Arabic as plain text, or HTML, does not work. The text below was entered in Arabic, but does not display correctly in the preview step. العربية
